Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must face her greatest fears in this chilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
The vampire Wulfe is missing. Since he’s deadly, possibly insane, and his current idea of “fun” is stalking me, some may see it as no great loss. But, warned that his disappearance might bring down the carefully constructed alliances that keep our pack safe, my mate and I must find Wulfe—and hope he’s still alive. As alive as a vampire can be, anyway.
But Wulfe isn’t the only one who has disappeared. And now there are bodies, too. Has the Harvester returned to the Tri-Cities, reaping souls with his cursed sickle? Or is he just a character from a B horror movie and our enemy is someone else?
The farther I follow Wulfe’s trail, the more twisted—and darker—the path becomes. I need to figure out what’s going on before the next body on the ground is mine.
Soul Taken is book thirteen in the Mercy Thompson sereis by Patricia Biggs
What can I say about this series that hasn’t been said. I adore Mercy and returning to the world. It’s a joy and pleasure to return. I relish each new installment.
It’s the calm; before the storm for the Tri-Cities Pack.
Mercy’s life is in a good place. She’s accepted as the alpha’s mate and is growing to accept her role, so when Sherwood mysteriously gets his memories back, its a shock. And, then we have Marsalias warning and her asking for help.
This mystery will take us on twist, turns, and may even upset the status quo.
We’re taken on an adventure with Mercy as she follows the evidence, investigates the mystery, and figures out the motives and what is going on. I’m not a horror fan, but I got a kick out of this pumpkin patch theme with scary stories, a corn maze and more.
As you may know I’m fan of Mercy Thompson sereis and I’ll be re-reading and listening to this again.
Soul Taken was another fabulous read. I tried to take my time, but as it goes I devoured this novel. I love seeing Mercy and the others standing strong.

About Patricia Briggs
Patricia is the #1 New York Times best selling author of the Mercy Thompson series and has written twenty four novels to date; she is currently writing novel number twenty five. She has short stories in several anthologies, as well as a series of comic books and graphic novels based on her Mercy Thompson and Alpha and Omega series. Patty began her career writing traditional high fantasy novels in 1993, and shifted gears in 2006 to write urban fantasy. Moon Called was the first of her signature series about Mercy; the non-stop adventure left readers wanting more and word of this exciting new urban fantasy series about a shape-shifting mechanic spread quickly. The series has continued to grow in popularity with the release of each book. Patty also writes the Alpha and Omega series, which are set in the same world as the Mercy Thompson novels; what began as a novella expanded into a full new series, all of which debuted on the NY Times bestsellers list as well.
This one isn’t my favorite in the series, yet I still really enjoyed it. I wonder when Mercy will have a baby- or not? Great review. 🙂
Thanks Cali for checking out my review. I think a lot of fans are wondering on the baby front. ^_^
I know what you mean about trying to take your time, but it’s just so hard with these books. I’m super excited for the next one.
I can’t wait for the next release. Thanks for visiting!
I’m with you on loving this series so much that it will be the occasional re-read.
^_^ Thanks for visiting and checking out my review.
I’m planning on re-listening to this one next month or so to prepare for the new book this summer.
I’ll have to do the same. I usually need a refresher before I dive into the new releases.
